I'm addicted to shoujo anime. I have to possess incredibly obnoxious amounts
of it or I get the shakes. I won't hesitate to spend money just to get
my grimy paws on new shoujo anime. Oh yeah, and if somebody tells me (or
if I read on some site) that so-and-so is the greatest shoujo anime ever
to grace the face of the earth, I have to have it or else it will eat
away at me. So it will be a cruel joke to tell me that a title is really
good when in reality it's not even worth the disc it was recorded on.
Because I will search high and low to get it. Really.

Shoujo anime
consumes me. It consumes me so bad that I have shoebox after shoebox filled
with them. I would spend hours cataloging them, alphabetizing them, reburning
them, and relabelling them. What? That just means I'm anal retentive?
Oh. Okay.

Over the years,
my taste in anime has significantly narrowed. I already preferred shoujo
anime to other genres of anime before. Now, I have become much less tolerant
of any anime that doesn't have

1) A female
leading character
2) Decent romance
3) A good-looking male protagonist

Spoiler
warning
Major spoilers ahead! In the given anime's synopsis, I would typically
talk about how the story starts and then give a general overview of the
series. It should be noted, though, that an anime would sometimes start
with a certain scene and then have flashbacks to something that happened
earlier. It could be a few days earlier, a few years earlier, or even
a lifetime earlier. The review would be quite vague, but I would be talking
about some elements of the story that might also take away some of the
suspense. But easily the biggest spoilers in these anime primers are the
favorite episode sections. Read at your own risk.

The synopses
and the reviews also use a lot of anime terminology. Hopefully, they would
be common enough to be understood contextually if not lexically. The sections
also make references to other anime. If the characters are well-known,
I probably won't elaborate about them too much. For example, I would talk
about Usagi and would be implicitly referring to the heroine of Sailor
Moon. But if the characters are relatively obscure, I would then provide
some elaborations.
